    That was Pacquiao's only fight of the last decade that wasn't on PPV. That's how small a chance people gave Horn. He threw everything and the kitchen sink at Pacquiao, while Pacquiao expected Horn to be the pinata for his welcoming party to ESPN.

      Horn was a pinata.

Horn had all those advantages that night with Pac, the whole package down to being saved from a stoppage loss. I honestly think Horn should've been disqualified that night, if not stopped, if not lose on points but he "somehow" got the nod.
        Hatton that fought kostya thought horn held and wrestled too much.

          That’s what you get for Ducking Crawford and cherry picking Horn.
          Aint no one ducking King Duck Crawfish.

            vargas was getting the best EASILY initially, till the low blows taking affect.
            Vargas was never ever gonna beat the great tito Trinidad.

            Trinidad had a better chin and way more power.

            There was no ending for tito-vargas that didn't end in Vargas getting ktfo.

              I don't think Jeff Horn will be worried whether you're impressed by a world title, a win over one of the greats, one title defence and a few million earned. I'm sure he's pretty proud of his career.

His performance vs Bradley and Horn weren’t dominant enough for you all to call it a robbery. You all love his personality which is why many of you have a hard time facing reality.
                you are entitled to your own opinion BUT, media, non pac fans, also had manny winning. so take it up with them.

                  Answer the question. At ww, when did your boy ever give up height/reach to a guy and fought him in his own backyard out of the country. I will answer it for you. Never.

                    If you watch the replay, Pac had 2 headbutts which caused him to bleed like a stuck pig.

                    it was a close fight but that should have gone to Pacquiao.

                    you win some and you lose some.

                    I guess Horn has bragging rights. He can tell his kids he stood toe to toe with Manny and didn’t get knocked out.

                      You are correct. Jeff Horn doesn't care if people think he's a ****. He hasn't updated his Facebook bio with "WBO Welterweight Champion" in years, and every year he reminisces about his fight with Pacquiao.
